Blutip Technologies Corp, a leader in fuel measurement and analytics for mining, says it is expanding its solution portfolio with enhanced support for operator focused initiatives. Having successfully completed a proof of concept in collaboration with a large Colombian coal operation, Blutip is enhancing elements of the SmartRView platform to better address large operator rosters. The effort will also focus on normalisation to ensure operator evaluations are not biased by underlying equipment efficiency or transient external factors.

These platform extensions and related reporting function empower mines to positively influence operator efficiency, safety and productivity through incentivisation, training and employee recognition. Blutip is receiving funding for this research and development project from the National Research Council of Canada Industrial Research Assistance Program (NRC IRAP). Blutip has already leveraged this support by on-boarding additional software development and data-science professionals.
